(TheLastPatriotNews.com) – In a hit against conservative values in Western nations, Candace Owens, a prominent U.S. conservative commentator, finds herself barred from entering New Zealand hot on the heels of a similar ban from Australia.

Authorities point to the risk of societal tensions flaring—a testament to the sweeping crackdown on conservative voices.
Owens, known for her outspoken conservative viewpoints, was denied a visa by New Zealand due to being banned from Australia.
This follows her earlier exclusion from Australia, reportedly linked to her controversial denial of Nazi medical experimentation on Jews during World War II.
New Zealand officials cited their policy of not granting visas to individuals barred by other nations, reflecting a broader strategy to prevent any potential discord from her presence.
Australian officials previously stated their decision was based on Owens’ potential to incite discord and her highly controversial remarks, including statements about the Holocaust and Muslims.
Australian Immigration Minister Tony Burke commented that “Australia’s national interest is best served when Candace Owens is somewhere else,” cited by The New York Post.
This ban forced the cancelation of planned events where Owens was set to discuss topics like free speech and her Christian faith.
The promoter of her scheduled events, Rocksman, has continued selling tickets without mentioning the visa issues or potential cancellations.
Neither Owens nor the promoters have responded to requests for comment, leaving ticket holders in uncertainty.
Such silence only fuels the controversy brewing around Owens’ exclusion from these nations, intensifying debates on censorship.
Her critique of several socio-political movements and policies has earned her accusations of promoting conspiracy theories and antisemitism.
These include outspoken remarks against Black Lives Matter, feminism, vaccines, and immigration.
The response to her comments has been polarizing, with equal engagement from supporters championing her right to speak freely and detractors keen to discredit her.
In what could perhaps be a coordinated effort, New Zealand’s decision to deny Owens a work permit resonates with their duty to maintain societal harmony, allegedly, but at the cost of stifling free expression—a value many Americans hold dear.
As her scheduled speaking tour becomes increasingly complicated, the debate over free speech versus societal safety continues to unfold on the global stage.
